Via TFW2005 member Mr. Chaos, we have a few more listings from store computer systems for the Titans Return line.

The following assortment will feature Octane and Blitzwing, the logical retools of the new Voyager class Optimus Prime and Megatron toys. So far, so much we expected. So the Legends throws us a couple of surprises, with Seaspray getting a » Continue Reading.

To make matters even more interesting, thanks to Buchanan Photos, we are given a closer look at what may possibly be Merlin’s Staff (the famous BBC One TV show called it The Sidhe Staff). Could his magic be Cybertronian technology? While principal photography is being carried out in Europe, an old » Continue Reading.

The latest waves of Titans Return are dropping in the States this week and tonight we’ll be taking a look at one of those newbies – Titans Return Leader Class Soundwave!

While strictly not Transformers related, we thought you, our readers, might like to know about a project which Transformers writer Simon Furman and artist Geoff Senior are working on.

It’s a little different to most digital fare, in that it’s presented in successive full-sized frames (one per screen), really showcasing Geoff Senior’s kinetic, muscular » Continue Reading.
